The A.R.C are coming!

First of the A.R.C. is painted. He still needs army painter and a spray of Testors but that'll have to wait until I've got a few more painted.

He was quick to do as I used a mix of red and chainmail to get a metallic pink (as predicted by the Silverback) over which I used Baal Red & Badab Black. This reduced the brightness. The details were quick to pick out and I decided to put on some transfers to break up the belly area because the model does have quite a few large smooth areas.

As he has a large base I was able to put a curb corner on for a bit of base detailing. Hmmm not sure what I'm going to be able to do on the small ones bases.

Nearly finished

Nearly done now. I've got to cover the roof in sand for texture and i'd like to add some details like clocks etc inside.

Then onto painting it!

A little progress...

but only a little. Tuesday night i got a chance to tinker with the warehouse whilst the Silverback and Urn tried to duff each other up. I've not added the pavement/base for the building and I've only really got a bit more detailing to do before I paint it. I have decided to PVA sand to the roof to make it look like a tar and gravel flat roof.

I'm also going to add capping stones to the side wall and also a large advertising sign for the roof. That probably will not be fix but I'll decide once I've knocked it together.

I managed, last night, finally to get my PC figs based and hopefully I'll be able to squirt some undercoat on them tonight ready for painting at the weekend.

Pulp City - Scenery

Righty-o,

In an effort to keep the pressure up on people to move their Pulp City figures forward, I took on the task of painting the "street furniture" bits and pieces that we have acquired for the game.  Now these are more than just aesthetics, these will be thrown, grappled and generally lobbed at opponents in the game.

Next up is some pavement/sidewalks...

PS.   Eddie was saying last night that although he loves his monkeys, he is a little gutted at not having any Spandex/lycra action in his crew, so watch this space...

Say hello to my leetle friends....

So, updation blog entry here to show off firstly the Gunslinger Ortega crew for malifaux, ready to re-claim the night from all those horrible mechanical spiders, undead zombettes and mercenary scumbags :)

As with Criid's crew, I've used the red to tie them into the faction and the long coats were great fun to paint.

The second update is the Pulp City figures, all stuck together and ready for painting. The bases on these were holding me up as I didn't want to use the old "sand + wash + highlight" on them as they should be in the middle of an american city. I eventually decided just to bite the bullet and make my own, so you may be able to see that they're plasticard inserts with pavement slabs etched in. Simple, but I'm pleased with the results and it saved me a bundle on custom bases :)

I also decided that the flying heroes should, well, fly! So I used magnets to attach them to some spare GW flying bases (the diameter is only 1mm out from the normal bases) and you can see the effects on perun and Solar above. I magnetised them on the basis we don't know how to play the game, so they can be take off for LoS checking if needed and I may even do them normal bases that they can be stuck to if I'm feeling creative and get the time....

Some green stuff needed on most of these guys before painting (especially the zombie wolf whose right and left sides are only vaguely acquianted) but shouldn't take too long and then they'll get on the table!

Pulp City

So as you are now aware the latest game to hit the GOG group with regards figures and scenery is Pulp City.

This is a game of super heroes and villians set in the 1980s.  Se we have had to explain to Urn about the 1980s as he doesn't remember the first half of them due to his tender age.

Anyway, onto the figures.  Whilst the 3 more comic mad GOGs grabbed at various charcters that they could relate to I chose the Heavy Metal team/crew/gang/informal arrangement for 2 reasons:

1.  I like Heavy Metal music.
2.  They seemed like a good old round crew with regards models and theme.

They are now painted and ready to hit the streets to kick some super-villian/alien/APE butt.

A couple of close ups, and for those of you familiar with the game, you will notice I have 2 unusual additions to the team in the form of the glorious Kitty Cheshire and the Grimm.  These figures are really exceptional and bags full of character - a big well done to the sculptor.  Figures like that are so easy to paint.

A thumbs up from the GoGs!

How cool are these Super-special Pulp City diced? Kindly sourced by our Tea Urn from the chap who is behind the wonderful "Pulp Citizen" blog.

We really are rather weak when it comes to all the fringe goodies available for gaming.

Nice one Citizen!!!
